Orion OCIO

Our Seven Rules
of Portfolio Construction

After auditing more than 5,000 investment accounts, we’ve identified seven key rules retail investors consistently neglect — and institutional investors always follow.

Avoid Overlap

Overlapping styles and holdings, even among managers, can lead to closet indexing and increased costs — both of which may reduce returns.

Execute High Active Share

Employ high-active share managers or a low-cost indexing strategy — don’t get caught in the middle.

Leverage the Best Ideas

Access an active management strategy through concentrated managers — stocks with less than 40 or 50 holdings.

Avoid Comingling

Use managed accounts (SMAs) where possible rather than co-mingled fund products — especially in active strategies.

Avoid Turnover

Do all you can to eliminate unnecessary trading. Turnover in any portfolio is a silent killer — especially inside of co-mingled fund product. 

Know Your Junk

Allocate to fundamental, bottom-up managers with an extensive due diligence process and help enhance returns by avoiding fund managers that tend to own a lot of junk bonds.

Protect the Downside

Reduce drawdowns and help enhance long-term returns through managers that exhibit compelling downside capture metrics.
